Troop 11 History: Troop 11 was chartered originally to Chestnut Avenue Methodist Church, in April of 1934. There had been a Troop chartered there previously, but its charter had lapsed. When the church moved from its old neighborhood and merged with another church, Chestnut Memorial United Methodist Church was created, and the Troop continued with no lapse.

Troop 11 has been blessed with dedicated Scouters over the years, many of whom are products of Troop 11's program when they were boys, and many who came with new ideas to make the Troop even better. The present Scouts and Scouters continue to carry on the traditions of Scouting at Chestnut Memorial UMC.
